Light gauge automated slitting line installed in Feralloy Sinton (Texas). This processing line is equipped with automatic and semi-automatic systems that autonomously perform different processes and make it easier for workers to operate them. The ability to automatically carry out the different processes required for the operation of a slitter allows for a considerable improvement in productivity, by reducing the time required for each function and eliminating the possibility of human error.
At the same time, the automatic cycles make it possible to carry out different auxiliary processes, such as strapping or scrap extraction, simultaneously or without having to stop production, thus increasing the ton/hour ratios of coil processed.
The slitting line features automatic separators, automatic coil loading, automatic threading cycle, hand-free recoiling, piano system for off-line strapping, mobile tension unit, scrap chopper and quick change of slitter head setup with turret.
